Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude, Trausse, France

A44523JKB11 - What a great find this house is! In move-in condition, tastefully renovated and full of quaint and charming features.

From the quiet village street you enter the large kitchen / dining room, with fitted units and a small island with solid-wood worktop. In the corner of the kitchen is a spiral staircase dating back many years; the dining area has an impressive antique tiled floor.
There is a convenient modern cloakroom with WC on this level.

The sitting room is a cosy room with exposed stone walls and a wood-burning stove for cooler evenings. There is a second front door into this room, and the main wooden staircase, with a useful cupboard under, leads from here to the first floor.

On the first floor is the master bedroom suite with bathroom and WC, and a large built-in wardrobe.
This connects with the second bedroom which is currently used as a dressing room / study, with a lovely old fireplace and a stone sink, reminders of the days when this was the family living room and the room below was a barn!

On the second floor is a very large bedroom, recently renovated, and a shower room with WC.

The property is double-glazed through-out, with new programmable electric radiators in the dining area, master bedroom and second-floor bedroom. The woodburning stove is a top-of-the-range model, still under guarantee.
There was a new roof in 2022, which has been professionally checked this year to ensure it is fully watertight.

The building was originally 2 separate houses, many years ago. Each house retains a separate entrance and staircase, so it would be possible to rent out a part of the house and retain privacy for the owners.

Immediately opposite the house is a small barn, with water and electricity, currently used as a laundry and store room. This building has great potential to convert into a separate studio apartment, with mezzanine bedroom (subject to the necessary permissions).

There is access either through the barn, or directly from the street, to the fantastic courtyard garden, a colourful and surprising space with a summer kitchen and barbeque area. An ideal spot to relax and enjoy the warm sunny days in complete privacy.

The pretty village of Trausse is known for its many fetes, including its annual cherry festival, and also benefits from a restaurant and a village store / bar. It has a well-established international community, making it a great place to live.
The larger villages of Peyriac and Caunes-Minervois are a short drive away, for a larger range of shops, restaurants and visitor attractions. Set in the heart of the Minervois wine region there is are plenty of local wine producers to visit!

Trausse is 22 km from Carcassonne, 27 km from Carcassonne airport, 58 km from Béziers, and 43 km from Narbonne, 60 km (1 hour) from the beaches of the Mediterranean, and an hour and a half from Spain.
